I was watching more videos/gameplay of the game cuphead that I mentioned a couple of times (as it is so inspiring) when I noticed the map and how much it looked like a regular amusement park. I love the way text hovers when you move him across the map, how things move, the watercolour like wash, and the idea of a game and exploring a map like this.. again feeding back into the 'map' idea and the 'amusement park' idea as well. at the bottom are a few screenshots from that particular level, which I think I will gather even more imagery from. also I love the 2-D platform layout - could be interesting for a painting composition, you're always fighting something to the right of the screen... and the background is just as important as the foreground... anyway, much to explore..
